Community Ambassadors in Science Exploration (CASE) is the newest program of PISEC (Philadelphia/Camden Informal Science Education Collaborative), which has a ten-year history of museum-community collaboration. 

Based on the previous research and programs of PISEC, CASE is a new model for encouraging the appreciation and understanding of science among a diverse set of local communities.

The CASE program involves:

  • recruiting and training a corps of teen and adult science presenters
  • a set of hands-on learning experiences for families of varied ages and backgrounds
  • a regional network of museum-community collaboration
  • integration of community and museum resources through joint programming
  • and a longitudinal research study of program impacts

CASE will serve over 15,000 people during three years, with peer-presented family learning opportunities and museum experiences. In addition, CASE will train a total of 88 Science Ambassadors who will offer science workshops at community-based organizations in the languages spoken by their member families.
